"We can have 50 in here easily. Baby robins, baby this, baby that," Elizabeth Melnick, the owner of Elizabeth's Wildlife Center told Global News.
At Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center in Abbotsford, B.C., the number of small mammals and birds in need of care is already overwhelming.
“We can have 50 in here easily. Baby robins, baby this, baby that,” Elizabeth Melnick, the owner of Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center told Global News.
Melnick and other staff never turn animals away and care for injured, orphaned wild birds and small mammals and have done so since 1986.
“I don’t even know how many animals we have in here right now and it’s just going to get busier, and busier and busier,” Kristie Johnson, a staff member said.
But the ability to pay for added staff and supplies has reached the breaking point.
“I am stressing out because financially we (have) really hit rock bottom,” Melnick said.
She said the worries about how she is going to keep the wildlife center open are beginning to take a toll on her health.
“Well, I still haven’t had my day off but keep getting encouraged to take at least one day off a week, but, I don’t know,” Melnick said.
